See, I don't get this scenario. Gaming laptops will last, maybe if you are really lucky, for an hour off of the battery so they really aren't good at being a so called "portable gaming option." So basically, you have to find a wall outlet if you want to play a demanding game.

Gaming laptops are also expensive for the price people are paying. The highest end mobile i7 that people can get with a reasonable price is an i7 6700HQ atm. That is on par with desktop i3s/low i5s with the i7 being better in some places.

So why wouldn't they just get a desktop instead? Its cause the person in this scenario is most likely going to collage or something so they need a laptop that can do both their homework and day to day things like porn and etc + being able to play games. A switch wouldn't be an option in this scenario cause a Switch can't do any of that stuff other than gaming.

On the other hand, if a person already owns a gaming desktop, there isn't much of a reason for him to own a gaming laptop aside from being able to do computer tasks as well as gaming. Cause again, gaming laptop's battery doesn't last so long that you can play it anywhere as well as the price and the form factor (since they essentially require a table of some kind). He can't play games on the car, on the train, on the bus and etc. 

But maybe explain your scenario a little bit more so I can understand it better.

smh

Is it frowned upon to post JUST to say I can't get involved on this one, and then tack on a gif that adds nothing to an already pointless comment? I'm gonna do it just this once.



- edit. GTA 6 on Switch would be a nice surprise.

Where the "why not both" gif?

Can the Switch even hope to run GTA 6 ?! I don't expect it to come anywhere NEAR close to be able to run it at min spec at sub-HD resolutions and then we have the issue of storage size too ...

that would be more logical too.

Switch or XBO/PS4 Laptop would be ideal for me.

I would use the Switch for Lunch breaks and day to day events.

The XBO/PS4 Laptop would be for vacation or while watching TV.

I really hope the Switch has a 4G model, and brings a new form factor to the mobile space. Then I hope Microsoft and Sony jump in with their own takes.

Ultimately I would like a PC like PS4 for the office with extra power and RAM, a console PS4 for the livingroom, a laptop PS4 for around the house and vacation, and a PS4 Phone that docks like the Switch for day to day communication and on the go gaming.

All device in one ecosystem with one purchase working on all systems. All devices run on the same APU design just scaled to each environment. Access to games, productivity apps, health apps, financial apps, etc., basically iOS level of apps. Finally, all apps would work with cloud storage so no matter what device I use, I can pick up right where I left off.

Hopefullly Switch can help use down the path to gaming first devices being the defacto device across all form factors.

That is *if* the Switch gets GTA 6. - And if it does, it's framerate, resolution and graphics will be gimped.
Only so much you can do with a Tegra chip.

I would rather just get an nVidia Tegra handheld and stream the game from my PC. - Graphics that easily surpasses any console (Including PS4 Pro) in the palm of your hand? What's not to love?

input latancy? I have no idea how good/bad it might be, but it would be there at some level right?

I dont see point of comparing PC and console platform, they also have different form factor and concept.
